Nu McAdam (he/they) & Suchi Chatterjee (she/they) present to you ‘Your Lavender Life Part II: Secrets in the Woodwork’ at The Ledward Centre.
At this event, we will be hosting a podcast in a roundtable format featuring our Community Champions Nu Mc Adam (he/they) and Suchi Chatterjee (she/they) as well as Queer Heritage Souths own Roni Guetta (she/her), and local legend Jane Traies (she/her) Writer, researcher, storyteller and oral historian who has been recording the life histories of the oldest generations of lesbians in the UK.
They will be interviewing each other and talking about collected histories, archiving and the secrets that Brighton has yet to reveal.
We encourage you to bring something to contribute to what would be your Lavender Museum. This could include:
Memories
Something physical or digital
A photo
TV Programme or show
We would like (if you’re up for it) to interview you around what you would put in your own museum. We will also have a “Write your history here” where you can write about your memories to become a part of a collection of lavender lives.
Access
We try and make sure there are as few barriers to people joining our events as possible. We can pay for participants to take taxis to/from events for reasons such as disability, health conditions, wellbeing and personal safety if it means they can come along and would not otherwise be able to. Please be aware that we have a limited budget for this so only request this if you need it. We would ask you to book and pay for your taxi/s and keep the receipt/s. We can then reimburse you if you fill in a short form, which we will send to those who have requested taxi expenses to be covered.
We are using a step-free venue. If you have any access requirements, please let us know in advance by emailing bianca@marlboroughproductions.org.uk
